National Science Foundation Award #9020751

Ferroelectric Liquid Crystals in External Fields

 
Investigator(s): Charles Rosenblatt (PI)
Sponsor: Case Western Reserve University, OH 44106 2163684510
Start Date/Expiration Date 1991-06-01 to 1995-09-30 (amended 1994-07-05)
Awarded Amount to Date: $209,650
Abstract: This project aims to study the behavior of ferroelectric liquid crystals in external magnetic and electric fields. Experimental techniques such as field-dependent light-scattering together with electro- and magneto-optic and dielectric measurements will be used to investigate the recently discovered nematic electroclinic effect, as well as a variety of related phenomena such as surface interactions, molecular couplings, and critical phenomena.
